Lunar Visitor Publishing

The Lunar Visitor was first published in 1852 in San Francisco, California by a formerly enslaved preacher, John Jamison (J.J.) Moore of the AME Zion Denomination- church home of Harriet Tubman, the Paul Robeson Family, Frederick Douglass, Sojourner Truth, and other abolitionists. J.J. Moore found the first AME Zion Churches west of the Mississippi river. 

Rev. Moore was the founder and editor of the newspaper. It promoted civil rights and advocated developing institutions for educational, social and political skills useful in working toward a full participation in American Society. When Bishop Moor published the Lunar Visitor in San Francisco in the 1850s, he gave it the mission statement: “To be devoted to the moral, intellectual, and social improvement of the negro race”. 

In the year 2022, the Lunar Visitor is a periodical and a "news outlet of public record" authorized by an ecclesiastical government to publish public and legal notices. It can be found at www.thelunarvisitor.com/public-record. 

In the future, the Lunar Visitor Publishing Company has the vision and thirty year goal to become a multi-billion dollar communications, media, and broadcasting company by producing content of value that is in accord our mission statement. 

The 2019 Special Edition and relaunching of the periodical, bears witness to the eight generation dynasty of Moore's, that continued in the clerical tradition after their forefather. When Bishop Moor published the Lunar Visitor in San Francisco in the 1850s, he gave it the mission statement: “To be devoted to the Moral, Intellectual, and Social Improvement of the Colored Race”, Today we just say "the race".
